A program called Ilivid was accidentally installed on my pc. The searchnu software bundled with it was unchecked and not installed. I promptly went to the programs list and uninstalled ilivid. I then did a system restore to last week just to make sure. Alas, firefox and internet explorer are both constantly opening new tabs to the ilivid website.

I have tried to locate any files associated with this malware, but I cannot find them, I am assuming they are randomly named or have embedded into other programs. I really want to avoid having to reinstall my operating system. I appreciate any help you can give.

Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with ComboFix.
You can get help on disabling your protection programs here

Double click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts.

Your desktop may go blank. This is normal. It will return when ComboFix is done. ComboFix may reboot your machine. This is normal.

When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Post that log in your next reply
